  • 2021 MRS Fall Meeting Call for Papers (PDF)
    Symposium BI01: Developing an Open Source Introductory Textbook for the Materials Community The materials community is one of the few in science that does not have an open access textbook for the introduction of our discipline. This symposium is focussed on addressing this need and developing an efficient and continuing process to create a high quality open source electronic textbook that will be vetted by our society along with the other materials societies such as TMS, ACeRs, and ASM. We are planning on inviting top practitioners as well as emerging, young researchers in each of the foundational areas of materials science and engineering. The main outcomes of this symposium will be to identify small editorial boards for each area and to develop a plan to write the first set of chapters. The vision is to create a server based publishing platform to permit continual updating of the chapters with editorial board oversight. New chapters can be added and expanded as time goes on. An instructor will be able to choose the sections they want and produce a pdf for their students at no cost. The goal of this symposium is to work towards developing a sophomore level text that covers the fundamental topics that apply to all areas of materials essential to an introductory text. We expect experienced materials educators to set the scope and depth of the material in each area during planned working sessions and then to identify early career materials scientists and engineers to lead the effort for writing and editing the text, examples, worked problems, and other digital content for each topical area.

Pioneered for well logging in the oil industry, the concept has been explored for materials testing in a more systematic way since the introduction of the NMR-MOUSE. This is a small, one-sided access NMR sensor which acquires the information of one pixel from a particular spot of a large object. As the sensor explores the stray-fields of a permanent magnet and an rf coil, the magnetic fields are inhomogeneous and the sensitive volume is limited to the region, where both fields are orthogonal and the Larmor frequency lies within the excitation bandwidth. By shaping the magnet and the coil geometries, the shape of the sensitive volume can be tailored to a thin slice or a larger volume a certain distance away from the sensor surface. In the first case, there is a strong field gradient in the depth direction, and in the second case, a homogeneous sweet spot of the field profile is desired. The first case is suitable for measuring high-resolution depth profiles, while the second case is suitable for chemical shift resolved spectroscopy and volume imaging.

Moreover, femtosecond real-time spectroscopy has been introduced to study dynamical processes in the ultracold helium environment. On the one hand, wave packet propagation opens a window to dynamical processes, allowing even a view to superfluid properties at the nanoscale. This is exemplified at decoherence effects in the wave packet propargation of small molecules attached to the droplets. On the other hand, high-resolution mass spectra using both femtosecond photoionisation (PI) as well as electron impact ionization enable us to characterize reactive processes at temperatures in the millikelvin range. As an example, alkali cluster – water complexes are formed in helium droplets. By recording multi-photon PI spectra we can distinguish between reactive processes of the neutral clusters and ionic reactions occurring after ionisation of the alkali cluster component. These studies pave the way to time-resolved reaction dynamics at very low temperatures. 8:36AM A26.00002 Nonequilibrium magnesium complexes formed in helium nanodroplets , JOSEF TIGGESBAUMKER,¨ ANDREAS PRZYSTAWIK, SEBASTIAN GODE,¨ KARL-HEINZ MEIWES-BROER, Institute of Physics, University of Rostock, 18051 Rostock, Germany — Doping helium droplets with alkaline earth atoms is an interesting tool to investigate the interaction with the superfluid helium.
